Garlic is a bulbous root vegetable which belongs to the same family as onions, which was estimated to be the 3rd most popular herbal supplement in 2016, and for good reason.

Firstly, garlic is particularly high in rare sulphurous compounds, including thiacremonone, allicin, and allinase. Because sulphur is one of the main ingredients for glutathione, the main antioxidant manufactured by the human body itself, garlic can increase your glutathione levels sharply, and with it, enhance your brain health, enrich your skin, and protect your muscles.

Cranberry, a fruit which originated in the forests of northern Europe, was estimated to be the second most popular herbal supplement in 2016, and it’s easy to see why.

Cranberries are most popular for preventing urinary tract infections, and they succeed wildly, by wiping out thebacteria which causes it. Naturals antioxidants called proanthocyanidins are behind those benefits, and that brings us to another advantage: cranberries are rich in antioxidants full-stop.

Nowadays, the benefits of antioxidants for brain health, happiness, cognition, your skin, your mood, and your energy are well known. Antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, resveratrol and glutathione are all popular, but one antioxidant with particularly interesting powers is alpha lipoic acid.
